To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64180]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's very much difference between Murray State, which is picked to win, and Morehead State [which is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32297]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think there's very much difference between Murray State, which is picked to win, and Morehead State [which is picked last].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He doth nothing but talk of his horse. -The Merchant of Venice.

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grades are a problem.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our investment portfolio continues to contribute positively to the group's result, despite an increase in Foxtel losses, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our investment portfolio continues to contribute positively to the group's result, despite an increase in Foxtel losses,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who studies to imitate the poet Pindar, O Julius, relies on artificial wings fastened on with wax, and is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20570]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who studies to imitate the poet Pindar, O Julius, relies on artificial wings fastened on with wax, and is sure to give his name to a glassy sea. [Lat., Pindarum quisquis studet aemulari,  Iule ceratis ope Daedalea   Nititur pennis, vitreo daturus    Nomina ponto.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smashing of idols is in itself such a preoccupation that it is almost impossible for the iconoclast to look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smashing of idols is in itself such a preoccupation that it is almost impossible for the iconoclast to look clearly into a future when there will not be many idols left to smash.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. . -Hubert Humphrey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that we write about it doesn't mean we play better than ordinary players at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28606]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact that we write about it doesn't mean we play better than ordinary players at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The solitary Bee Whose buzzing was the only sound of life,  Flew there on restless wing,   Seeking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3912]]></link><description><![CDATA[The solitary Bee Whose buzzing was the only sound of life,  Flew there on restless wing,   Seeking in vain one blossom where to fix.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Astrologie is true, but the Astrologers cannot finde it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Astrologie is true, but the Astrologers cannot finde it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared.
